"Choose a duvet cover, sheets, and pillowcases in natural colors like deep brown, olive green, or sandy beige," they say. "A neutral linen duvet cover can also add an earthy texture."
To add even more dimension, consider fabrics like jute or burlap. Swap in wooden furniture pieces for even more of a nature-inspired look. Succulents, ferns, and greenery can add a pop of color.
